Thanks for posting this Tony,
Do you think the new gates at Marlow will have a different sluice set up on the upriver gate to make it less fierce?

Purely my opinion but I suspect any modification to make it "less fierce" would result in it taking longer to fill. Marlow is a deep narrowish lock so quite a head of water behind the sluices.
